| would advise every lady who goes to the
country or the seashore to get a pair of can
vas shoes. Nor will they be out of place in
the city for shopping and other business like
occasions. They are more comfortable for
summer wear than leather, they look season
able, and are cheap, ranging from sl.25 to
81. 70 and SO. They are tipped and trimmed
with russell leather and laced down the front.
Some have raised pegs or some sort of name
less projections near the top, around which
the laces wrap. These are continually catch
ing on the braid of your skirt and making
trouble. The kind that lace through the eye
lets all the way up are more satisfactory.
The white wool dresses prepared for seaside
wear are often trimmed with gilt braid,
which does not tarnish readily as silver.
Copper red braid is also approved of. 1t has
wearing qualities.
"Gingham- hannels' are in order. They are
tennis cloths of mixed wool and cotton,
striped in Scotch Bingham colors, very stylish
and pretty The popular style Of making
them up is with tennis blouse, washer
woman overskirt and kilt. No trimming,
but stitching.
Green silk and black lace have formed a
partnership that is amicable as well as novel,
Sometimes green surah is used for the skirt
OF lace gown, sometimes only big, green
| watered sash gives the proper tone to such
garment, the remainder of it being in black
sometimes narrow green ribbons run length
wise down the left side, with a couple of
rosettes of the same on the right side. Yes,
and green has taken hold of white lace
dresses, too. No color is more beautiful and
it has been ont of vogue so long that it looks
new and refreshing now But look well to
the shade Of it-whether it will make friends
with your complexion or not.
American ladies are getting tired of Worth.
they say, even as did the French His goods
and his 'make" incline to heaviness. Felix is
said to be supplanting him.
| This is undoubtedly ribbon year. Rib
hons are in use to brighten up call sorts and
conditions" Of dresses. But be careful not to
| put them on in here and there way. If you

them in long full loops, or close bushy ro-
settles. They are inexpensive trimming, say
some. Well, not particularly, and yet less
expensive than many other things, consider
ing the effect. But they soil easily and then
they give a disreputable look to the gowns
| they are designed to improve. The moment
their freshness departs they, too, should
| go. But not all ladies wear ribbons
with good effect There are flower ladies'

either flowers or ribbons without looking fool

taste. Observe well and think over what you
have seen. Don't let your modiste rule you

White and yellow are the fashionable bon
net colors this season among the swells of
"Ould England"
Childrens frocks are growing longer
wasted. 1t is difficult thing in city to
find a dressmaker who is willing to under
take children's clothes. In the first place,
unless they charge higher prices than their
customers are willing to pay, there is no
profit in them. Next, they are so accus-
toned to the artificial COMPRISING of the full
grown female form that they complain about
the "odd little shapes" of children.
